Abstract
In order to investigate the metabolic effects of a constant hypertonic glucose infusion in well-oxygenated fetuses, ten experiments were carried out in nine long-term experiments in fetal lambs. It appeared that a constant hypertonic glucose infusion did not significantly affect the fetal blood gases, pH, and plasma lactate levels when fetal glucose was kept below 150 mg. per 100 ml. It was also demonstrated that glucose infusions significantly increased the fetal lactate levels and decreased the blood pH when fetal plasma glucose was over 150 mg. per 100 ml. However, there was no decrease in fetal Po2 and Pco2 until fetal glucose reached values over 300 mg. per 100 ml. These studies suggest that constant hypertonic glucose infusion does not improve fetal blood gases or pH and that fetal hyperglycemia over 300 mg. per 100 ml. produces severe metabolic acidosis.
